1984 FERRARI 512 BBI BOXER 2 DOOR

Details

A Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer is one of a series of cars produced by Ferrari in Italy between 1973 and 1984. They used a mid-mounted flat-12, 180-degree V12, not actually with a Boxer crankshaft, engine. Production of the BB was a major step for Enzo Ferrari. He felt that a mid-engined road car would be too difficult for his buyers to handle, and it took many years for his engineers to convince him to adopt the layout. This attitude began to change as the marque lost its racing dominance in the

1950s to mid-engined competitors. It was not until 1971 that a mid-engined 12 cylinder road car would appear. No BB was ever originally sold in North America, as Enzo did not believe it to be worth the cost of federalizing. However, third parties made conversions, and quite a few of them are now in the United States. The Bosch K-Jetronic CIS Fuel Injected BB 512i introduced in 1981 was the last of the series. The Fuel Injected motor produced cleaner emissions and offered a better balance of performance and daily driver temperament. External differentiators from the BB 512, besides badging, include a change to metric sized wheels and the Michelin TRX metric tire system, small white running lights in the nose, and the red rear fog lamps outboard of the exhaust pipes in the rear valance. 1,007 BB 512i models were produced. This example has documentation from new. It is a factory Rosso Corsa car with full black leather. It has only 67,000 original kilometers, which converts to around 42,000 original miles, and it has a huge file of documents and mechanical work done throughout its whole life. It has cold factory air conditioning and power windows that work well. It has had a complete engine out belt service as seen in the photos. This Boxer runs superb, even in the 95-degree weather in Florida.
